I have been conducting gardening tasks for my family and neighbours.

This includes from simple lawn mowing to prunning and preparing rose bushes and other plants/ trees. I have used petrol powered equipment (chainsaws) and electric equipment (battery powered hedge clippers).

I have been restoring a vintage Volkswagen Kombi camper van at home.

This has given me experience in safely using various hand tools to overhaul suspension and steering components. I am developing my body work skills to remove rust and welding in new panels which I will prepare for final painting.

While carrying out this work I have gained lots of experience in using both air powered tools and battery powered hand tools.

I have been assisting my family to carry out extensive renovations in our home, including replacing ceilings, repairing plumbing, tilling and painting. I have experrience in both oil and water based paints and can assist in customers wishing to select the most suitable finish for their houses.
